Abstract

L'invention concerne une soupape à diaphragme (1) disposant d'un corps de soupape (2) et d'un organe de soupape (3) mobile par rapport à ce dernier. L'organe de soupape (3) contient un support de diaphragme (6) lequel peut être entraîné pour exercer un mouvement de commutation (26) et sur lequel est fixé un diaphragme d'étanchéité (8) délimitant une chambre de soupape (7) qui renferme un siège de soupape (47). Le diaphragme d'étanchéité (8) comporte une partie d'étanchéité (53) qui est située à l'opposé du siège de soupape (47) et qui appartient au moins partiellement à une partie de diaphragme (55) du diaphragme d'étanchéité (8) laquelle n'est pas fixée et laquelle est capable de se détacher du support de diaphragme (6) lorsque celui-ci est enlevé du siège de soupape (47) lors d'une commutation, pour ainsi réduire la sollicitation du diaphragme d'étanchéité (8).
